TopicMy child is filing for a name change

It's very exciting! The first part of his social transition has been going by a different name (in fact, he started using a new name at school before he asked us to use it at home). He's now going to make it official with the government.

While it isn't necessarily a difficult process, it does require some planning. There is a specific order you need to do things in order to get a new driver's license, birth certificate, SS card, etc. Surprisingly, Ohio doesn't throw up any walls to change things.

How often does one get to pick their own name? It's been an eye-opening process

I am a college professor, so I've seen first hand how mental health and self-diagnosis has evolved. It is very difficult to parse out the students with actual diagnoses from those who throw out "BAD MENTAL HEALTH DAY" as a get out of jail free card for everything.

I mean, many chefs do serve steaks with sauces. This seems a really weird line.

Nothing wrong with a good steak with no sauce. Nothing wrong with preferring that either, but theres a reason that most good steak places offer a variety of sauces and butters to go on your steak.

If the chef prepared the sauce, then that's fine. It's as the chef intended.

Thinking that a professionally prepared steak requires salt of shitty bottled sauce is the problem

It is actually illegal to campaign on your own finances. Bloomberg got chewed out for it in 2020 and if he'd actually won the nom there would have been some major investigations.

True, but we know that Trump is very likely raising money as part of his legal defense fund as well.

It kind of is. They can get a college education without having to go into debt to do it. A lot of people don't have that option.

Actually, I completely disagree with you here.

If my kid had gotten admitted solely because I work there, THAT would be nepotism.

The free tuition is part of my compensation package, so it is NOT nepotism.
